It is required that you submit a completed course assessment form prior to your exchange program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: visit your partner institution website and review the courses that are available to exchange students. Note that students must maintain a full-time student status at their host institution, which could range from 3-6 courses in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: collect any information available from the host institution about the courses you wish to take overseas. Find the syllabus, course outlines, and course descriptions that can help your academic department review the course content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: complete your course assessment form and submit it to your academic department. Be sure to include as much supporting information as possible (see step 2). To find the undergraduate program director (UPD) or Department Chair, you may use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/atlas.cafe.uit.yorku.ca\/atlas\/servlet\/atlas\/template\/Index.vm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">York Atlas<\/a>&nbsp;and search by Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4<\/strong>: Wait to hear from your academic department.
